If your session has generated some worthwhile directions, set out the next actions.

Add notes with your observations.
Criterion
Add a criterion or requirement against which you will filter and score ideas.
Think about:

Give participants some time to reflect on the ideas generated, before evaluating them. New ideas and insights can arise after some time away from the session.
Type them in.
Observation
Without evaluating or judging, build upon the ideas from other people, using them as triggers for different ideas.
Type in your observations.
